The Interfaces of Chinese Syntax with Semantics and Pragmatics
provides an in-depth exploration of a variety of interface
phenomena in Chinese, a non-inflectional language, where to a large
extent word order constrains its interpretation and defines its
grammatical functions. Under the Dynamic Syntax approach, which
takes the incremental left-to-right processing of linguistic forms
to be a fundamental part of characterizing the relation between
syntactic structure and semantic interpretation, a straightforward
explanation is provided. The study features detailed analysis of a
range of key grammatical constructions such as topic, passive,
copular and cleft, where previous analyses were sought in pure
syntactic, semantic or pragmatic terms. Clear and straightforward
throughout, The Interfaces of Chinese Syntax with Semantics and
Pragmatics will be of interest to graduate students and scholars of
Chinese, linguistics and cognitive science.
